34% of US Women Under 50 Now Classified Iron Deficient
Original: 34% of U.S. women under age 50 have iron deficiency under new guidelines
New clinical guidelines for iron deficiency, using stricter ferritin thresholds, mean roughly a third of American women under age 50 would now be classified as iron deficient. The change is drawing attention because lower cutoffs could dramatically expand how many women are tested and treated for a condition long underdiagnosed, with symptoms like fatigue often dismissed as normal.
Why now: The stricter ferritin thresholds substantially widen the group considered iron deficient, raising questions about diagnosis and treatment norms
